This is us — Sakher and Reem.
Two years of war took everything from us.
Our homes are gone. Our futures shattered.
We carry the weight of loss every single day. But together, we’re still trying to hold onto a tiny piece of hope.

Duncan Barton, Chief Nursing Officer

RSV is used to explain that because children weren't mixing that we saw a resurgence and was a concern.

This borders on two issues, so-called "herd immunity" and the debunked "immunity debt". This topic needs to be carefully monitored.

People under 25 collapsing at concerts isn’t a mystery — it’s COVID and Long COVID. Both can trigger POTS and other post-viral issues, but too many still ignore that reality.

Screenshot of a tweet by Fin replying to Sam Parker.

Sam’s tweet reads: “not to be so millennial but why is everyone under 25 about to collapse and die of thirst at concerts now.”

Fin responds: “it’s Covid it’s fucking Long Covid which causes POTS and a plethora of other issues. y’all need to stop asking these questions if you’re gonna ignore the answer.”

AI data centres are gobbling up environmental resources.

Billionaires are flying around on private jets.

Endless amounts of money & resources spent on wars around the globe.

But inhalers are the real threat to the climate?

They really will blame disabled people for everything

Screenshot of a post from local 12 WKRC TV which reads “inhalers contribute significantly to global warming study finds” and then a photo of two blue inhalers

I thought I did too , but over time (several years), I noticed a deterioration and decided to come off it. I'm glad you're OK though. 🙏

People would prefer our problems
To be quantifiable
But denial and reactive behaviours
Mean the problems snowball
And we have much bigger problems
Than the virus we could measure
If we could be bothered!

People keep telling me
we have bigger problems
much bigger problems
than the virus,
and they are right
of course, they are right,
for a virus is a small problem
so small in fact
you need a microscope to see it,
but despite its size
this virus
is still very much a problem.

I took myself off montelukast, several years ago. Found it was too detrimental to my mental health. That's a fair dose you're taking off both meds. 😟

It is also curious that influenza (flu) vaccination is being given to a much larger group of people despite flu being a much milder disease than Covid for most people.

People are right to be angry. It is absolutely shameful that the Government have restricted Covid boosters to such a small group. This is a huge gamble with the nation's health purely to save money. Here is how their argument runs: a thread 🧵

A headline reading "Pharmacies facing angry patients over Covid jab confusion". Below it is an image of a nurse drawing up a vaccine into a syringe from a vial.

Reminder that we still don’t know what happened to the 1,000 immigrants who went missing from Alligator Alcatraz.

Their families and attorneys can’t locate them.

They’ve been disappeared.

People are still being sent to that horrible place without any due process.

I want to breathe. I want to live without fear.
Two years under this war. Two years under rubble, under grief, under pain no one should carry.
But I’m still here… barely.
Please, don’t scroll past me. Don’t look away. My life depends on you.

And yet… I’m still trying to survive.
I try to speak. I try to scream. But my voice is fading, and my hands are trembling from exhaustion. I’m not asking for much — I just want a chance to live.
I don’t want luxury. I don’t want to travel. I don’t want a big house. I want food.

I’m Reem. Tomorrow marks two full years since the war began.
Two years of destruction, hunger, fear, and loss. Two years of being broken again and again.
I lost my home. I lost my childhood safety. I lost my health. I lost every small dream I had. There’s almost nothing left.
